Business Finland will launch a renewed organisational structure on 1 January 2026, marking the beginning of a new strategic period. The reform introduces a clearer separation between domestic responsibilities and international export promotion.
In Finland, Business Finland will concentrate on fostering innovation-driven and sustainable growth. Companies and research organisations will be supported through funding instruments, growth and internationalisation advisory services, and networking opportunities, particularly for ambitious development and renewal projects.
From 2026 onwards, Business Finland will operate not only in Finland but also in 11 other countries. Its international mission will focus on attracting foreign investments, strengthening tourism demand, and supporting the inflow of international talent to Finland. An EU office in Brussels will complement these activities by monitoring EU innovation policy and facilitating access to European RDI funding.
A key element of the reform is the transfer of export-related foreign operations. As of January 2026, Finnish companies will receive internationalisation and export support abroad through the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Finland’s global network of diplomatic missions.
Within Finland, Business Finland will continue to operate through a broad regional network, including offices in Helsinki, Oulu, Rovaniemi, Tampere, Turku and Vaasa.
Specialised functions within the organisation include:
